As the first comprehensive attempt at a national implementation, this study aims at assessing the external costs of major electricity generation technologies in Korea, particularly an evaluation of the impacts on human health resulting from exposures to atmospheric radiological emissions from nuclear power plants, and a monetary quantification of their damages. The methodology used for the assessment of the externalities of the selected fuel cycles has been developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), namely the SimPacts Model Package. The model is internationally recognized as a tool which can be applied to a wide range of fuels, different technologies and locations, for an externalities study. In this study, the relevant emissions are quantified first and then their impacts on human health are evaluated and compared. The study focused on all the nuclear power plants for the last 6 years ($2001{\sim}2006$) in Korea. With respect to nuclear power, the impact analysis only focuses on a power generation, however the front- and back-end nuclear fuel cycles are not included, namely uranium mining, conversion, enrichment, reprocessing, conditioning, etc., because these facilities are not present in Korea. The analysis results show that nuclear power in general, generates low external costs. The highest damage costs from the nuclear power plants among the 4 sites in Korea were estimated to be 3.9 mills/MWh, which is about 1/20th of the result for a similar case study conducted in the U.K., implemented through the ExternE project. This difference is largely due to the number of radionuclides included in the study and the amount of released radioactive emissions based on up-to-date information in Korea. In this study, the sensitivities of the major factors for nuclear power plants were also calculated. The analysis indicates that there was around a ${\pm}3%$ damage costs variation to a ${\pm}15%$ change of the reference population density and a ${\pm}1%$ damage cost variation to a $1{\sim}30$ meters change of the effective release height, respectively. These sensitive calculations show that there is only a minor difference when the reference costs are compared.

Building energy saving is one of the most important issues in these days. Control algorithm for energy saving should be designed properly to reduce power consumption in building. Recently, building energy system consists of hybrid energy system coupling with RE (Renewable Energy) source. In this paper, an optimum control algorithm for building energy saving is applied to BEMS (Building Energy Management System) by using an outdoor air temperature prediction strategy. BEMS coupling with renewable energy can control HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning) system effectively. In order to verify the effectiveness of building energy saving, BEMS was tested for several months at a laboratorial chamber with an air conditioner, fan and heater. To this end BEMS embedded control algorithm has been tested successfully.

This study has been conducted to verify the possibility of adaptation of a latent storage type air-conditioning system, shifting the peak load of electronic power to a building. In this paper, an energy equation to evaluate performance of PEM(phase change material) has been suggested and solved, after discretization. As a result, it is confirmed that the results from the energy equation are correspond with those from present studies to analysis of one-dimensional solidification and to analysis of two-dimensional solidification.

신재생에너지 분야 중 가장 활발하게 개발 및 보급되는 태양광발전은 유한 에너지인 석유, 석탄, 천연 가스에 비해 비고갈성의 청정 에너지원으로 각광 받고있다. 화석연료를 사용하면서 발생 할 수 있는 지구환경 문제에 대처 할 수 있고, 수력이나 원자력발전과 달리 비교적 입지에 영향이 적을 뿐만 아니라 전력 수요지 근처에 설치하여 직접 전기에너지를 공급할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 반면에 그늘이나 구름 등 주변 환경에 영향을 많이 받고 넓은 부지와 높은 초기 투자비를 필요로 한다. 특히 태양광발전은 직류전력을 발생하므로 이를 교류로 변환시키는 태양광발전용 전력변환장치(Power Conditioning System; 이하 "PCS")가 필요하다. 본 고에서는 중소기업지원과제로 개발되어 한전 전력연구원의 태양광발전 실증시험장에서 실 계통 연계 운전을 통하여 취득한 50kW급 계통연계형 multi- string PCS의 초기 운전특성에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

Industrial interest in switched reluctance moor (SRM) drives has varied since 1850s. This has been primarily due to the emerging markets for variable speed drives in consumer and industrial products, such as home appliances, air conditioning, hand tools, fans, pump motor, etc. However, SRM has been plagued with the acoustic noise and vibration problem by input power of fixed section. Therefore, This paper offers electromagnetic analysis for torque ripple reduction in mechanical geometry and electric parameters. This means that the rotor pole arc and electric parameters have related to produce the active and negative torque. This analysis results are verified by the finite element method.

The hermetic rotary compressor is one of the most important components of an air conditioning system since it has a great effect on both the performance and the noise and vibration of the system. Noise and vibration occurs due to gas pulsation during the compression process and to unbalanced dynamic force. In order to reduce noise and vibration, it is necessary to identify their sources and transmission path and effectively control them. Many approaches have been tried in order to identify the noise transmission path of a compressor. However, identification has proven to be difficult since the characteristics of compressor noise are complicated due to the interaction of the compressor parts and gas pulsation. In this study, the statistical energy analysis has been used to trace the energy flow in the compressor and to identify the transmission paths from the noise source to the exterior sound field.
